- Death is just a setback! If a party perishes, its progress can still help you in the following playthroughs.
- Equip the new magic weapons, put the new magic potions and scrolls on your belt, and challenge both old and new enemies.
- Discover the secret of the ship that takes you on your journeys — and the truth about the ultimate treasure you're searching.
- You can create new characters for this DLC, or it can be triggered during the campaign in Chapter 3, 4, or 5. If in Chapter 3, rest in the war room for 18 days; in Chapter 4, the innkeeper will have a special dialogue option; in Chapter 5, rest in the war room for four days.

Each expedition, you need to reach the main island at southwest of worldmap to progress the DLC quest. Keep in mind that once you are on the sea, there's no going back to port unless the expedition is complete (Otherwise you need to start again, same as been killed).

Rewards in the main campaign
- There is a special boss-like enemy, slightly hidden in Act 4 on one of the islands - a Devastator. A chaotic Evil Construct, immune to all elemental damage, negative and positive energy damage, mind affecting spells, sleep, paralyzed, frightened and stunned conditions, death and drain effects, and has a base AC of 26 - but with all the other effects permanently active on it, it's a 41 AC, when you see it (but can be decreased by greater dispel). It has a relatively low HP (around ~300), but with that many armor and immunity, still can cause a large amount of damage, if you not make an use of a "surprise round". The reward for killing it is really great though: 18432 XP on normal difficulty, and - with a perception check of 32 - a hidden Amulet of Natural Armor +4.

The most annoying part of this dlc: Appearently, there's no shopkeeper on the ship, so you either stuff your storage full with items to sell later, or keep carrying them around with you, if you don't want to mess up your sorted storage with garbage you plan to sell...
Do rests in the dlc count against limit for "Sadistic Game Design" if you play it as part of the campaign? Anybody knows?
